Well folks I had my surgery and thanks be to God for all of your prayers.  I did not have to get an ICD,  instead I got an Implantable Loop Recorder.  This little device which is about the size of a jump drive sits right between the 2 and 4th rib.  The job of the loop recorder is to record all cardiac activity which my doctor can download at any time.  I also wear what is called a Zoll Life Vest.  This vest,  is basically a portable AED.  I wear it next to my skin and it monitors my heart ,however;  unlike the loop recorder,  it actually treats an arythmia when it picks one up.  For instance,  if my heart goes into polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or Torsades de pointes,  which are the most common fatal rhythms that Long QT syndrome sufferers can go into, it will deliver a shock.  Fancy huh?  So I guess you can say I am wired!!! Soo  all in all I am doing well and I thank God for doing the healing.  Yes I went to the hospital and utilized the doctor’s and the wonders of modern technology but God is the one who directed the surgeons hand.  God granted the specialist wisdom to treat my condition and prescribe the correct dosage of medication.  God is holding back the side effects of the medications and allowing them to work as they claim they should.  In the beginning of this sickness I said, “anyway you bless me Lord I will be satisfied”,  guess what folks?  I am…

Beyonce made an Anthem  Calling all the Single Ladies in the beginning of her song, bringing them to attention, then telling the men in their lives, “if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it”.   “Whoa uh oh!”  the problem with this advice is,  she is down with test driving the merchandise which cheapens it.   Let me let you in on a little secret… Guys and Gals,  pull up a chair and perk your little ears up.  When you want to get a car you test drive it, because it’s a car, and you use a car.  Notice I said USE,  you USE a car, I know the correct word is drive, and ride,  but I don’t want your minds to fall over in the gutter on me.  So how do you keep your sanity and stay holy in this world of Fornication, Masturbation, Pornography, Bisexuality, Homosexuality, Metrosxuality, Bicuriosity and everything else in between.  Oh I am so glad you asked.  You see The bible says that, “A man that findeth a wife findeth a good thing…”  OK Ladies so what is that telling you?  Number one,  if you are out hunting for Mr. Right then you are Wrong!  It’s Ok to make yourself available,  dress yourself up,  but don’t put yourself in situations that will simply get you in trouble.  As a minister I have heard several  excuses when someone ends up pregnant like….”I don’t know how this happenend”.  When I hear that I don’t know whether to give a short class on human sexuality, or chuckle at the vision in my head of the unlucky couple somehow slipping on a magically appearing patch of ice, and his and her pants simultaneously falling down and their genitals falling into each other as well.  What an amazing set of circumstances.  People ask me all the time,  “do you date?” and I answer,  “No”. But I also give them this explanation… As an unmarried woman,  my father, as long as he is living sits as the priest over my life,  if a man would like to date me,  then he must let his intentions be known to him.  We can talk on the phone but if he wishes to take me somewhere, my father must talk to him first.  Well Not long ago this happened, and after exchanging numbers I talked with this man for about a week on the phone then he asked me out so I gave him my fathers number.  Him being a Christian found that to be acceptable, so my father spoke with him,  and immediately told me to cut off all communications with him.  I asked him why, and my father told me that the man was married, and was going through a difficult divorce.  This information was not known to me,  but my father gave him a man to man talk, and  got that information out of him.  Now have I always submitted to my father this way?  No,  when I was in the military I wasted a lot of time dating knuckle heads who only wanted one thing and thankfully I wasn’t a whore but I still wasted a lot of time with them going to clubs and ruining my reputation drinking, smoking and crazy stuff like that.  So now I wait for the right man to come, and when he does I will once again let my father decide, and then we will court each other by spending very little time alone with each other instead I will bring my sister along as  a Chaperone or have other friends along.  I will invite him to church and we will meet in very public places like parks and restaurants.  This is what my brother and his wife did for about a year.  After that was done they stayed apart for about two weeks and fasted asking God for his guidance concerning marriage,  then they talked to their pastors.  Finally my brother asked her mother, and father for her hand in marriage, which is the proper biblical way to do it.  They have been married many years now and have had very few problems,  they did not practice premarital sex and they and I believe in the vows when it says to the groom “Now you may kiss the bride” .  Their is a reason for that folks.  If you save that special kiss and embrace, and all that goes with it for marriage,  it makes things go so much better.  It is a trick of the enemy to send people down the slippery slope of Pornography, fornication and masturbation before marriage because these three things alone are some of the biggest marriage killers.  They train you before your marriage to be intimate with only yourself,  and total strangers or vile images in your head.  When you are with your spouse,  your brain will not know  how to make love,  it will only know  how to do what is saw in the images that are seen in magazines and movies.  Your spouse can’t turn you on because he or she isn’t an acrobat and can’t stand on their head or have 50 climaxes.  Your spouse can’t compete with the man in the picture because he is not built like a horse.  If you practiced the sin of fornication or premarital sex with your spouse you are then tempted with adultery as fornication with others has created soul ties with other people which according to scripture…. you lay with them, you are one with them, then you are married and tied,  you have to ask God to divorce that person out of your marriage, or a constant comparison will occur in the bedroom. You will have a real tug of war on your hands,  your spouses soul  tie on your heart pulling one way, and the ties made previously to another, or several others pulling in the opposite direction, creating a deadly love triangle.  With the premarital sex,  the honey moon is a joke and a waste of money,  couples end up arguing the whole time due to the  guilt of wasting time, and money,  because they know they are doing nothing,  but what they been doing all along,  who do they think they fooling.  Then there is the abomination of bisexuality,  homosexuality and bicuriosity this is an abomination because the bible said it was.  He destroyed the civilizations of Sodom and Gomorrah because of that sin,  it goes against the very nature that God has set in place.  The bible said in the last days that men would be lovers of their own flesh instead of lovers of God (paraphrased).  God’s revulsion for sexual sin and homosexuality is repeated all throughout the book of Roman’s read it in your free time.  In conclusion,  I just want to say,  to all the singles in the struggle,    from one single to another,  just know that you are complete and whole if you have a personal and real relationship with God.  Having a mate will not complete you only complement you!

Ok Anointed Readers,   Holly-Weird has gone clean off the deep end  I don’t even need to explain it,  just look at the blasted movie poster.  It’s supposed to be the Archangel Micheal sent by God to punish sinful man, sans the flood waters  of Noah and the flames of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Uhm  okay  problem numero Uno…..  if you look really close Micheal has a knife in one hand and a assault rifle in the other

Problem numero Dos…….The name of the movie is Legion????  Whoah  looks like the writers got cracked with the ruler one time to many in Catholic school for sleeping,  because they learned absolutely nothing about the bible.  Legion is used four separate times to describe a specific case of demonic possession.  Actually it was the demons themselves that gave up the name “Legion” as both their number and their name.

Numbero Tres……The movie goes waaaaay off the tracks when Micheal decides to ,  Join mankind in a revolt against God most high!!!!!  Hey they lost me at the name of the movie but this folks is beyond evil…

Well Anointed Readers the time has come to let the cat out of the bag.  For all of you who could care less or don’t like medical jargon,  stop reading now.   I am going to have surgery on November 13 next Friday.  I have a weird disorder of the heart called Long QT Syndrome  or LQTS. This surgery is supposed to be minor, they are implanting a device that will monitor my heart constantly.  It will record the ridiculous rhythms my heart goes into at times,  the Doctors are considering an ICD which is a permanent device that will deliver a shock to my heart whenever it goes out of rhythm.  Right now I am on an extremely high dose of medication to prevent that so thankfully that has not happened,  also I pretty much don’t do anything so it doesn’t get a chance to go into any crazy rhythms.  I had to stop my walking everyday which had gotten up to six miles because of this, (bummer).   Once the docs decide the final treatment plan for me,  I will have to slowly rehab. back to walking,  just a few minutes a day and adding more minutes till I get to a mile and then more.  This has been an incredible set back but my faith in almighty God and having a strong support system has helped me get this far.  Just a year ago I would not have been able to say that because I probably would have given up halfway through and found a bottle of pills to take,  or a bridge to jump over.   God has brought me through an incredible battle of frustration, confusion,  loss,  and depression to come out victorious.  The devil is only mad because he got egg on his face.    The Devil made a terrible mistake by knocking me to my knees,  because he put me in position to talk to my father and get the information I need to beat him soundly.

Those that know the words of prayer you know what to do,  and I thank you in advance some of you I have already contacted through e-mail  thanks to all who reached back,  that meant a lot.

Ok Anointed readers I got issued a challenge of sorts in the form of a comment.   Here it is …..”Nice article and finally there is a Christian who can tell the truth. I still believe that everyone needs some darkness in their lives. What I don’t understand is that you don’t seem to believe in ghosts, but you believe in the holy ghost. If  God does give us free will, why can’t he give us the will to stay here?” … Allow me to answer that for you “Corcey”  one bit at a time, and thanks for stopping by.

Number one,  The Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost is not a Ghost in the ethereal sense,  it does not haunt.  It is a part of the godhead  The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost  (whatever your preference) being a distinct person of the Trinity.  He was sent to convict those who are in sin,  convert those who choose to believe, and he dwells in the believer.  He is also known as the comforter and counselor.

John 14:16-17

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever– the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. (NIV)

Now as far as free will goes,  it is true that God has given us free will,  but that free will only goes so far in death.  The bible clearly states that “And it is appointed unto men once to die and after this then the judgment” Hebrews 9:27 The devil has tried many times to make a mockery out of what God has said by putting on a show with familiar spirits through psychics and sightings of ghosts.   Once a spirit leaves this mortal plane for good they are long gone!   They are judged and the rest is left up to the almighty God.

So what exactly is Halloween you say?  Well when I was younger my family didn’t care we all dressed up in the cheap vinyl costumes and plastic masks that stayed on with just a rubber band and got a garbage bag full of candy.  Back then Halloween wasn’t anything expensive or exploited,  kids went out when it got dark and nobody was afraid of kidnappers.  We would go into peoples houses and listen to spooky stories and get cookies and juice serves by host’s and hosteses dressed up like the Dracula and Morticia.  It was only when my family started attending a large church and getting educated on the meaning of this holiday did we understand the danger of the striking innocence of it all.  Strangely enough the missionaries in this church did a really good job because it seemed like everybody became aware at the same time that we were all being fooled into subtely giving reverence to satan on a pagan day of worship.  To make matters worse this had all been sanctioned by the Catholic church long ago.  It’s amazing how many of our seemingly innocent holidays are not holidays at all.   The word Holiday for instance comes from the two words Holy and Day being said together.   Below I have cut and pasted some information from the website of John McArthur:

Halloween

Halloween. It’s a time of year when the air gets crisper, the days get shorter, and for many young Americans the excitement grows in anticipation of the darkest, spookiest holiday of the year. Retailers also rejoice as they warm up their cash registers to receive an average of $41.77 per household in decorations, costumes, candy, and greeting cards. Halloween will bring in approximately $3.3 billion this year.

It’s a good bet retailers won’t entertain high expectations of getting $41.77 per household from the Christian market. Many Christians refuse to participate in Halloween. Some are wary of its pagan origins; others of its dark, ghoulish imagery; still others are concerned for the safety of their children. But other Christians choose to partake of the festivities, whether participating in school activities, neighborhood trick-or-treating, or a Halloween alternative at their church.

The question is, How should Christians respond to Halloween? Is it irresponsible for parents to let their children trick-or-treat? What about Christians who refuse any kind of celebration during the season–are they overreacting?

The Pagan Origin of Halloween
The name “Halloween” comes from the All Saints Day celebration of the early Christian church, a day set aside for the solemn remembrance of the martyrs. All Hallows Eve, the evening before All Saints Day, began the time of remembrance. “All Hallows Eve” was eventually contracted to “Hallow-e’en,” which became “Halloween.”

As Christianity moved through Europe it collided with indigenous pagan cultures and confronted established customs. Pagan holidays and festivals were so entrenched that new converts found them to be a stumbling block to their faith. To deal with the problem, the organized church would commonly move a distinctively Christian holiday to a spot on the calendar that would directly challenge a pagan holiday. The intent was to counter pagan influences and provide a Christian alternative. But most often the church only succeeded in “Christianizing” a pagan ritual–the ritual was still pagan, but mixed with Christian symbolism. That’s what happened to All Saints Eve–it was the original Halloween alternative!

The Celtic people of Europe and Britain were pagan Druids whose major celebrations were marked by the seasons. At the end of the year in northern Europe, people made preparations to ensure winter survival by harvesting the crops and culling the herds, slaughtering animals that wouldn’t make it. Life slowed down as winter brought darkness (shortened days and longer nights), fallow ground, and death. The imagery of death, symbolized by skeletons, skulls, and the color black, remains prominent in today’s Halloween celebrations.

The pagan Samhain festival (pronounced “sow” “en”) celebrated the final harvest, death, and the onset of winter, for three days–October 31 to November 2. The Celts believed the curtain dividing the living and the dead lifted during Samhain to allow the spirits of the dead to walk among the living–ghosts haunting the earth.

Some embraced the season of haunting by engaging in occult practices such as divination and communication with the dead. They sought “divine” spirits (demons) and the spirits of their ancestors regarding weather forecasts for the coming year, crop expectations, and even romantic prospects. Bobbing for apples was one practice the pagans used to divine the spiritual world’s “blessings” on a couple’s romance.

For others the focus on death, occultism, divination, and the thought of spirits returning to haunt the living, fueled ignorant superstitions and fears. They believed spirits were earthbound until they received a proper sendoff with treats–possessions, wealth, food, and drink. Spirits who were not suitably “treated” would “trick” those who had neglected them. The fear of haunting only multiplied if that spirit had been offended during its natural lifetime.

Trick-bent spirits were believed to assume grotesque appearances. Some traditions developed, which believed wearing a costume to look like a spirit would fool the wandering spirits. Others believed the spirits could be warded off by carving a grotesque face into a gourd or root vegetable (the Scottish used turnips) and setting a candle inside it–the jack-o-lantern.

Into that dark, superstitious, pagan world, God mercifully shined the light of the gospel. Newly converted Christians armed themselves with the truth and no longer feared a haunting from departed spirits returning to earth. In fact, they denounced their former pagan spiritism in accord with Deuteronomy 18:

There shall not be found among you anyone…who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord (vv. 10-13).

Nonetheless, Christian converts found family and cultural influence hard to withstand; they were tempted to rejoin the pagan festivals, especially Samhain. Pope Gregory IV reacted to the pagan challenge by moving the celebration of All Saints Day in the ninth century–he set the date at November 1, right in the middle of Samhain.

As the centuries passed, Samhain and All Hallows Eve mixed together. On the one hand, pagan superstitions gave way to “Christianized” superstitions and provided more fodder for fear. People began to understand that the pagan ancestral spirits were demons and the diviners were practicing witchcraft and necromancy. On the other hand, the festival time provided greater opportunity for revelry. Trick-or-treat became a time when roving bands of young hooligans would go house-to-house gathering food and drink for their parties. Stingy householders ran the risk of a “trick” being played on their property from drunken young people.

Halloween didn’t become an American holiday until the immigration of the working classes from the British Isles in the late nineteenth century. While early immigrants may have believed the superstitious traditions, it was the mischievous aspects of the holiday that attracted American young people. Younger generations borrowed or adapted many customs without reference to their pagan origins.

Hollywood has added to the “fun” a wide assortment of fictional characters–demons, monsters, vampires, werewolves, mummies, and psychopaths. That certainly isn’t improving the American mind, but it sure is making someone a lot of money.

Sooooo What should we Do Anointed Readers:

Well This year as in many years past my daughter and I have attended what is called a Harvest festival where the focus is that Jesus is the Lord of the Harvest.  The goal is to go and bring friends that normally would go Trick or Treating and introduce them to the gospel.  There are Hey rides, pony rides,  the kids get candy by answering simple bible questions and playing go fish which is a really funny game where they have to hook these fake fish on these rods they give them swimming around in a kiddy pool.  The fish represent The harvest for the kingdom.  The smallest children are allowed to dress as sheep and the older children are allowed to dress as shepherds and other biblical characters.  Every year this festival gets bigger and bigger they give away bags and bags of groceries to the needy and sign up people for much needed social services.  Now I call that a treat and not a trick.  This church went out on the worst night of the year and reached out to the community and tried to meet the needs of the people and at the same time tried to entertain the kids.  I didn’t see one ghost, ghoul, skeleton or fairy.  They had gospel singing and dancing well into the night.  I can’t go this year because of a heart condition (God is a healer I am claiming it),  so instead when I hear the little knocks on the door,  I plan on handing out little gospel tracks geared toward children and oranges instead of candy to rot their little teeth.  It is time for the body of Christ to find new ways to respond to the broken society especially the youngest ones.   Don’t shutter your windows and turn out your light this year,  turn on your light get some tracts or turn on some gospel music and instead of wowing the kids with ghost stories like everyone else,  introduce them to the gospel by  telling them a bible story.  Instead of giving them candy you will have fed their souls.

Some Ner do Well would love to start this post off with the coy little hook….

“It all started innocently enough with a little TV series called Desperate Housewives TM.  and then reality TV decided to throw in their two cents worth,  and now  TV in America hasn’t been the same since.”  Well I beg to differ,  It started long before then with a little series called Married with children.   You remember the one that had the male lounge singer crooning in the background to circus theme music to the somewhat righteous sounding lyrics that were in polar opposition to the moral standards (or lack thereof ) on the show.
Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage,
Go together like a horse and carriage,
This I tell ya brother, you can’t have one without the other.

Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage,
It’s an institute you can’t disparage,
Ask the local gentry, and they will say is element’ry.

Try, try, try to separate them, it’s an illusion.
Try, try, try and you will only come to this conclusion.

Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage,
Go together like a horse and carriage,
Dad was told by mother you can’t have one, you can’t have none,
You can’t have one without the other.

The show featured Al the husband who saw his wife as a mattress with a hole in it at times, and a simple chore to be dealt with by going to work and bringing home the bacon,  which she promptly was shown spending on her ridiculous beehive hair or stupid hooker wardrobe.   Peggy the wife/housewife barely had time to properly raise her kids who made sure to be the best at being the worst kids in America.  Their daughter was pretty much a slut and both parents knew it, and seemed to think it was funny because she was dumb and blond.  Their son was full of untapped potential which suited them just fine, they had no plans on pulling his potential out of him as they lacked basic education themselves.  This show stayed on the air for years because it was supposedly funny,  Al with his bathroom humor, and his hand down the front of his pants seemed to be the formula that worked for over a decade. The shows writers and producers went out of their way to do a hatchet job on every thing that represented anything that was wholesome and good about the American family.  Even sitting around the dinner table became a punch line.  Years later along comes Desperate Housewives.  Now I know some of you are thinking, ” what about the soaps  they didn’t exactly help out with things as far as family and relationships go?”  As a matter of fact,  they threw gas on the fire of some marriages that were going up in flames.   Some women got so caught up in the Guiding Light that they actually needed therapy when they thought Reba had died,  ( I guess that was her name) hey I’m not a fan,  I just remember hearing my Aunts talk about it and laughing when I realized these weren’t real people.  Soooo Anyway  Desperate Housewives and the garden tools of Wisteria lane (I didn’t want to say Hoes),   suddenly became more popular than sleeping, eating, and breathing in some households.   Reality TV executives felt they could do one better by finding real women, with real problems instead of these fake ladies with all of this drama and the fake lines.    So along come the silly Housewife reality series.  Drumroll please…..

Here they are folks in no particular order (like that matters)

The Real Housewives of Orange County

The Real Housewives of New Jersey

The Real Housewives of Atlanta

The Real Housewives of  New York City

Before I sat down  to write this critique, I thought long and hard about what I would say,  and it didn’t take long because, I had a mountain of anecdotes and reams of video to glean from.   It was all so embarrassing,  these women all seemed to start out innocent and some even had a platform of sorts,  kinda (I guess).  I don’t know what the heck they were hawking, some where selling clothing lines,  some were out there talking about domestic violence,  Ne Ne from Atlanta was even featured at a Conference at a Mega church (whom the pastor of  needs to be fired immediately).   I can’t imagine what a pastor could have allowed that trouble maker to tell his sheep that he couldn’t tell  them himself.   I saw  some supposedly  high class,  high society, women fighting in classy restaurants,  flipping tables,  pulling weave,  yelling in public,  dating married men in front of their children (behind their back is no better either).    This left me asking myself.  ” Is this what we have turned into?”  “Are we so desperate to be entertained that we will look at this vomit”,  and apparently it has enough of an audience because it just keeps coming back.  I saw the most non-singinest least talented woman in the world take 3rd place in the I-tunes universe with the silliest song on the planet….”Don’t be tardy for the party  (blech).  Without the publicity of the show this one hit wonder would have been a No Hit Ever!  I did my research I kept a vomit bag handy as I watched the DVR’d episodes of public humiliation to the Nth degree.  These women will have to ask a judge for an injunction to have these episodes sealed till the end of time so their grandchildren won’t suffer undue humiliation,  in the event these women decide to  come out of their stupidity comas and stop filming.  I noticed that one person appeared and disappeared and that was a lady from last season in Atlanta’s housewives,  she was shown going to church a lot.  She must have seen herself in contrast to her appearance in church and was pricked by the Holy Spirit to make a choice of whom she would serve,  God or Mammon,  ( at least I hope that is what happened).    I only really watched the last few episodes and the reunion and I DVR’d the last few of this season and a few of the other housewive shows.  was enough for me to write a critique/post on what I see as a poison going into the homes of many ready to take down many a marriage.  If you need to lose weight watch this stuff,   Instant Bulimia,  your food wont’ stay down!!!!!   Man and Woman of God Guard your heart and mind don’t let this mess into your house and more importantly your marriage!

By the way as far as these shows being so Real,  check out the credits on some of them and notice how you will see a Story editor,  whenever you see that,  you can pretty much guarantee the drama is scripted, and what you see is a bunch of mess, but the damage spiritually and mentally are the same.  Turn the one eyed demon off .   The TV has done enough damage,  don’t let that stupid little box come between you and God and you and your spouse and family.

Peace, Agape

Wow the mass media is having a field day scaring the dickens out of folks.    I have one really big question.  How do you not have enough of something Nobody Wanted in the first place!!!!!  Well economics 101… pull out your thinking caps and take notes.  Now I freely admit, I am no scientific rocket when it comes to things like this, but just last week a judge put a halt to  forced vaccinations of health professionals in New York .  My daughters school sent out permission forms for a H1N1 vaccination clinic for a week from now and people were screaming, “don’t take it, it’s poison”, all at the same time.   The thing I noticed though,  was that there was an overabundance of the stuff (the vaccine that is).  They were practically trying to shove it down folks throats.  So nobody was budging and nobody was buying into the hype either.  A week later and highly publicized deaths and a 60 minutes show that looked more like an infomercial for the swine flue shot and people are beating down the doors of the public health depts.  who suddenly have turned up empty handed.  What does this sound like,  look like smell like,  quack like?  Oh I am so glad you asked.   It looks like a manufactured vaccine shortage.  Why you ask?  Well that’s where economics 101 comes in…. Supply and demand.  If you lower the supply and create a demand.   Whoalah  you move the merchandise off the shelves and pocket a lot of cash in the process.  Who cares about the damage that is caused in the wake.  I bet you didn’t hear about the damages,  deaths and convulsive fits that have been caused by the H1N1 virus vaccine have you?  More importantly I bet you didn’t hear about other countries who have already gone past their flu seasons and H1N1 was relatively mild and Big Pharma LOST A LOT  OF MONEY because of that.  Now I can hear the wheels turning,  and you asking what has big pharma and the media have to do with anything.  It’s a big old tangled web people believe me and it has New World Order stamped all over it.  The media is the megaphone to scare people straight and the rest,  well you know the rest,  just turn on the one eyed monster in your family room.  They will all be squeeling like little pigs for the next few months until they find something else to scare the sheeple with.  Body of Christ once again,  let me warn you.  Get in and Stay in your word,  the deceptions of the last and evil days has already begun  don’t be distracted.   To live is Christ to die is gain!

Hat tip to Vigilant Citizen for this article which is copied and pasted in it’s entirety from that site.  I suggest you also peruse other posts from there as well.  If any of you saw the constant repeats of Kanye West grabbing the microphone from Taylor Swift you probably got sick and tired of it but thought nothing else about it.  However;  a few of us thought it looked a little too staged,  and what do you know….It was!

The 2009 VMAs: The Occult Mega-Ritual

Sep 25th, 2009 | By Vigilant | Category: Vigilant Reports

From unexpected drama to shocking performances, MTV’s 2009 Video Music Awards managed once again to raise eyebrows and get people talking. What most people however missed is the occult meanings encoded into the VMAs. The TV event was in fact a large scale occult ceremony, complete with an initiation, a prayer and even a blood sacrifice. We’ll look at the symbolism that went on during the show.

MTV’s Video Music Awards have often incorporated dark and strange acts, even containing some occult symbolism. This year’s version has however outdone itself. The show left most people wondering what was wrong with Kanye West or trying compute the madness of Lady Gaga’s performance. The only way to understand the real meaning behind those performances is to look into esoteric teachings. Fact is, the whole awards show took the most common rituals of occult orders and reenacted them in a show witnessed by the entire world.

This year’s VMA’s were very different from other awards shows. They focused on a very limited number of artists (Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga), while ignoring many others who were equally successful. The “chosen” artists became characters in the VMA’s ceremony and acted out different ritual dramas. This might sound totally crazy to the average MTV viewer but those acquainted with the practices of occult orders (such as Freemasonry) can decode the references to sacred rituals.  There are numerous types of fraternities and rituals, from the most noble to the most infernal, and they have existed throughout History. The VMAs were decisively inspired by dark, sinister and even Satanic ceremonies.  Let’s look at those rituals.

The High Priestess’ Words of Wisdom

Madonna’s sermon

Madonna, the music industry’s High Priestess, the revered “elder” of MTV, opens the show with a very solemn eulogy for Michael Jackson. She admittedly never really knew or “connected” with him but she was still chosen to pay him tribute. Madonna is a well known and publicized adept of the Kaballah, the esoteric school of Judaism which is studied in most occult orders.  Rabbi Ariel Bar Tzadok explained how she uses (or abuses) Kaballah symbolism in her music:

“I discovered that Madonna’s famous dabbling with sacred Jewish mysticism has taken an interesting turn. In her latest music video for the theme song of a new James Bond movie, the “material girl” of old is transforming herself into a “Kabbalah girl.” Aside from the traditional Madonna blend of music and sensuality, in this video we see Madonna has a Holy Name of G-d tattooed onto her right shoulder. Tattooing, mind you, is a practice forbidden under Torah Law, all the more so abhorred by the Kabbalah. Granted the tattoo may not be real or only temporary but nonetheless, any expression of performing a forbidden act is itself forbidden and inexcusable. Unfortunately, Madonna’s abuse of Kabbalah and traditional Torah Judaism does not stop here. Later in the video we see Madonna winding leather straps around her left arm in the exact same format and style as holy tefillin are worn by religious Jewish men. Tefillin consist of a small leather box containing scared parchments. These are then strapped to one’s left biceps, and the strap is wound down the left arm and around the hand. Granted Madonna did not go so far as to defame the tefillin boxes themselves. Yet, it is quite clear that the wrapping of the straps around her arm is done in orthodox Torah style. This act of hers is pure sacrilege.” -Rabbi Ariel Bar Tzadok, Madonna’s Kabbalah – Not Kosher http://www.koshertorah.com/PDF/madonna%20kabbalah.pdf

Madonna’s tribute focused on the fact that MJ was “otherworldly” and “a king” but that she insisted on the fact that he was also a human being. Wisdom that can only be imparted by the High Priestess, while members of the audience bowed their heads and meditated on those words. Her words had a deep Kabbalisitic resonance.  The speech was followed by a video tribute to Jackson, which oddly started with Thriller, displaying on a huge screen the face of MJ as a decaying zombie who is risen from the dead. We then hear Price’s verse in the song saying:

“Darkness falls across the land
The midnite hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize yawls neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpses shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller”

It is only fitting that MJ’s greatest was included in his tribute. But this was a rather gruesome way to start a posthumous tribute. Someone, somewhere made some odd choices, but this somehow fitted the “vibe” of the rest of the show.

Taylor Swift’s Initiation

“I’mma let you finish!”

Taylor Swift wins the “Best Female Video” award and goes up on stage to give her thank yous. Kanye West pops out of nowhere, taking the mic from her hand, and informed her that Beyonce had “one of the best videos of all time“. This scene has caused much controversy and has earned Kanye the title of “Douchebag of the year” plus a the honor of being called a “jackass” by the President of the United States. I might shock some people by saying this… but this “unexpected” event was… STAGED! There I said it. Did you ever watch a crappy reality show and had the gut feeling that the whole thing was scripted? Well, I’ve got an overload of that feeling while watching that. None of the people implicated (not even Beyonce making her “I can’t believe this is happening” face) are good actors. Furthermore, I’ve been following Kanye’s career since his beginnings and I’ve retained one important fact about him:  the only thing Kanye West cares about, is Kanye West. So if he had to throw a hissy fit about something, it would had been about him not winning. Not Beyonce. Him. This scene is in fact Taylor Swift’s initiation into what I call “The Circle of Chosen Artists”. The pupil is humiliated in front of her peers and told that she is not worthy to be on the same stage as Beyonce, the queen of the ceremony.  Almost all groups, fraternities and gangs carry out an initiation process to test the recruit’s character, strength and worth. Swift’s ordeal was to have Kanye ruin her first award ever and to be told that she didn’t deserve this recognition. The rapper is known for bitching during award shows so he was the perfect candidate to make it all seem “unexpected”.

The Prayer

“Who wants to pray to the devil with me?”

Jack Black comes out dressed as a heavy metal guy on steroids to promote a video game. At one point he asks the audience to put their devil horns in the air and the proceeds to pray to the “darklord Satan”. The whole thing is light-hearted and comical but I don’t see any other way a prayer to Satan can be inserted into a primetime show without getting a truckload of complaints by “concerned parents”. The scene starts off semi-funny but Jack Black finishes off on a more serious note by saying: “I ask you to grant tonight’s nominees with continued success in the music industry“. This last phrase actually reveals a dark truth about the entertainment business. So the net result of this scene is this: everybody threw up their “devil horns” hand sign, then took each other’s hands and prayed to Satan. This piece of  pre-rehearsed comedy might have been an insignificant skit in another show. But in the context of this one, with its many recreations of occult rituals, the skit takes a whole other, sinister meaning.

The Blood Sacrifice

Lady Gaga’s performance was hailed as “brilliant” by many music fans. If you however ask them what it symbolizes,  their face turns into a question mark. Here’s what Gaga said about her performance during an interview at gagadaily.com

Do you think it will be one of those defining moments people will remember at the VMAs?
I know it will. I sort of have this philosophy about things: there’s never a reason to do something unless it’s going to be memorable, unless it’s going to change things, unless it’s going to inspire a movement. With the song and with the performance, I hope to say something very grave about fame and the price of it.

Something grave? What?
You’ll have to see.

What are you going to wear?
I would say that the fashion for the performance is a representation of the most stoic and memorable martyrs of fame in history. It’s intended to be an iconic image that represents people. I think after watching the performance and maybe studying it after you watch it on YouTube, you’ll see the references and the symbols come through.

The setting for the performance is very symbolic. Gaga performs in a temple or maybe an  aristocratic mansion, complete with columns, chandlers and paintings. Occult rituals, mind control experiments and even human sacrifices have been constantly rumored to take place in those kinds of settings. One feature I cannot ignore is the presence of two massive pillars underneath an arch.

Those are unmistakable Masonic symbols as depicted on this lithograph:

This obvious reference to Freemasonry hints to the occult and ritualistic aspect of Gaga’s performance. Masons are known to carry in their lodges ritual dramas, which are live reenactments of allegorical stories. Gaga’s performance symbolizes her rise to fame and the sacrifice she had to make in order to succeed.

When the bloody Gaga is lifted in the air, an eerie light comes out of of between the pillars and the dancers lift their arms in the air in praise. Many ancient religions carried out ritual sacrifices to please the gods. Blood sacrifices have also been viewed by black magicians as the ultimate way to collect spiritual energy. The final scene of the performance conveys the presence of this mysterious “force” after a sacrifice.

Rising star

Right after her performance, Gaga appears dressed in an all red dress, with her face completely covered. She is basically a walking, talking blood sacrifice. It represents the aftermath of fame, the hellish life that follows the sacrifice, the selling of the soul for success in the music industry.

“This if for God and the gays”

Pink’s Masonic Initiation

There is no way a Mason can watch this performance without recalling his initiation into the First Degree. Here’s a description by Mark Stavish:

“The candidate for initiation is stripped of all material possessions and dressed in a strange and peculiar garb (…). This includes a blindfold and a length of rope called a cable tow.”

He continues

“The blindfold used represents secrecy, darkness and ignorance as well as trust. The candidate is led into the lodge room for initiation but is not able to see what is happening. He is bound about the waist and arm with the cable tow.”
-Mark Stavish, Freemasonry: Rituals, Symbols and History of the Secret Society

The initiate is blindfolded, attached to a cord with the left breast and left leg exposed

Pink is blindfolded and bound with ropes. Her costume exposes her left breast, exactly like Masonic initiates. Instead of having her left leg exposed, Pink’s costume bears a diamond pattern which is very reminiscent of floors in Masonic lodges.

Eastern Star Lodge

Pink’s performance was a dizzying display of acrobatics which undoubtedly left her (and the viewers) totally disoriented. This is also a feature of Freemasonry’s First Degree initiation:

“His eyes are then bandaged against and a cord in the form of a noose is passed round his neck. At this point the novice is entering the marginal stage, associated with ordeals; he cannot see, his sense of direction has been confused and he has been dressed like a victim for execution.”
-J.S. La Fontaine, Initiation – Ritual Drama and secret knowledge across the world

Pink’s performance was yet another blatant reference to ritual dramas in occult orders.

Taylor Swift’s Acceptance into the Order

After Swift’s public humiliation, Beyonce, the queen of the ceremony, calls her up on stage to let her “have her moment”. She appears from backstage (as if awaiting her cue) in a red dress which is  strikingly similar to Beyonce’s. A reader of this site has noticed that, at the moment the two singers hug, a strange phrase appears on the screen behind them saying “RDFO IL 40 PRO DEL ATO”.

Is this a computer glitch or a coded message?

Taylor Swift being called on stage represents the fact that she is now accepted as an equal to Beyonce and part of the “chosen ones”. The matching dresses also convey this sense of belonging to a new group. She  “passed the test” – the ordeal of being humiliated – and she can now reap the rewards of being an “insider”.

To Conclude

Award ceremonies like the VMAs define and crystallize the pop culture of an era. It consecrates the chosen artists while leaving the others dwelling in the shadows of anonymity. As seen above, the whole show was heavily permeated with occult symbolism, primarily focusing on the “initiation” aspect of it. Why is MTV exposing young people (who know nothing about occultism) to such rituals? Is there a subliminal effect on the viewers? Are we educating the new generation to accept these symbols as part of popular culture? There is definitively a second layer of interpretation in many of MTV’s products. To decode those symbols is to understand the inner-workings of the entertainment industry.

Possible interpretation on   “RDFO IL 40 PRO DEL ATO”  =

DoUBelieve? September 20th, 2009 12:05 pm :

I don’t know if this makes any sense but I did try to find some information on the letters and numbers that popped up behind Beyonce and Taylor at the hug- RDFO IL 40 PRO DEL ATO…Don’t know how credible the wicktionary website is http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pro but it claims to be a multilingual encyclopedia. Out of curiosity I put in the letters in the way they were grouped on the screen.

RD- meant red dwarf (maybe some pagan history behind that) or abbreviation for road of course.
FO- had several meaning in different languages but the ones that stood out to me were “HE, HIM; IN FRONT OF; BEHIND”
IL- was stated to be a common mispelling of XLIX which means 49 (?)
40- gave me nothing of course

But here is the interesting stuff:
PRO- for; per; because of, through, on account of, owing to, for the sake of, for, due to
…hmmm?
DEL- historically represented by an inverted delta sign (pyramid anyone?)…meaning uncountable…strange yet?
ATO- they, them…

I do a lot of research which is partly what takes so long for me to crank out posts.  I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row and just the facts Jack (know what I mean),  in all seriousness;  I have read reams of material on H1N1,  and listened to endless talking heads and have come to one conclusion…  Nobody really knows what the heck is going on, or what is going to happen,  soooo there is a lot of fear mongering and groups ready to take to the streets against an enemy that hasn’t made itself visible.  What am I talking about?  Well if you do a simple Google search on Swine Flu, and then put in “forced vaccinations”, and  you will see all kinds of conspiracy theories.  I have read everything from the government is out right going to kill people with tainted vaccinations,  and that  the NWO is going to go into effect with martial law,  and forced vaccinations. The government “supposedly”,  is going to quarantine  those who refuse to take the vaccine.  People have claimed to see large stocks of plastic coffins,  and buses ready to ship people to quarantine areas.  Some people have spoken of seeing foreign troops on our soil to enforce a police state.   All in all,  it is believed that this a plot to knock out a large swath of the population with a pandemic crisis,  and blame it on the flu and not the Killuminazi’s (Illuminati). So as a Servant of the most high what is my reaction to all of this?   Oh well I am so glad you asked….let me pull out my Bible and read a few promises our God made to us,  concerning these things.  Now I believe he does not want us to be ignorant of the enemies devices but I do beleive that in the event of forced immunizations and the attempt to kill us through such a program God almighty will show himself mightier.

Let’s see what the Bible says

Psa 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Psa 91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Psa 91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

Psa 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Psa 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Psa 91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Psa 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Psa 91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Psa 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

Psa 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Psa 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Psa 91:12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Psa 91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Psa 91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Psa 91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

Now it is important to understand that We who are the Body of Christ not walk in fear,  but walk by faith and not by sight.   In this climate of fear we must do all that we can to boost our physical, mental and all important Spiritual immune system.  We can boost our spiritual immunity by reading the word, solidifying our relationship with God, and by  praying and spending time with him.   We must Watch what we feed ourselves,  avoid constantly looking at the news, reality shows, soaps, and the like.   Guilty pleasures like Jon and Kate plus 8,  Bridezilla, TMZ should be avoided all together.  Even some of the Christian networks are no longer safe as they spend an inordinate amount of time prophe-lying and begging for funds which allow them to maintain their extravagant lifestyle.  So my advice is,  keep your trust in God and not in man
